Add tasks to Timeline view

The grouping, start, and due dates of a new task automatically update to match what is set for the group by row and date where the task is added.

For example, in a Timeline view grouped by Assignee, creating a task by clicking in Sam's row will automatically assign the new task to Sam.

To add tasks to your Timeline view:

  • Click anywhere on the timeline canvas to add a task.
  • You can either search for an existing task or create a new one.
